Remove the control.sta pointer from ieee80211_tx_info to free up
sufficient space in the TX skb control buffer for the upcoming
Transmit Power Control (TPC).
Instead, the pointer is now on the stack in a new control struct
that is passed as a function parameter to the drivers' tx method.

When a client disassociates from a crypto enabled bss, data traffic to
other clients connected to the bss is stalled. This was due to a boolean
variable used to keep track if HW crypto is enabled i.e. if set key has
been called to add a key. This flag was being reset every time delete
key was called e.g when a station leaves the bss. Once the flag is
reset, rx status flags were not being set for connected clients which
disrupts traffic to these clients. Fix this issue by not resetting the
flag since we do not need to reset this flag during the life time of the
bss.

The tx_headroom required for mwl8k driver is 32 bytes and it
can use the space for 802.11 header received from mac80211.
mwl8k considers the smallest 802.11 frame (CTS2self of 10
bytes) that can be received from mac80211 to compute the
extra_tx_headroom as 22 (32 - 10) bytes.
When the wireless interface is part of bridge, this
extra_tx_headroom requirement results in a memcpy in
mac80211 (in function pskb_expand_head) for all the data
frames needing L2 forwarding/bridging, when NET_SKB_PAD is
defined as 32. This patch reduces the extra_tx_headroom by
8 bytes so that memcpy of data frames in mac80211 is
avoided in this case.
The resize will be required in driver for frames with 802.11
header size of less than 18 bytes.

This is in preparation to support life time expiry of packets in the
hardware to avoid head-of-line blocking where a slow client can
hog a tx queue and affect the traffic to a faster client from the same
queue. Time stamp the packets in driver to allow dropping them in the
hardware if they are queued for more than 500ms.
If queues are stopped, packets will be queued up outside the driver.
Since we will be able to timestamp the packets only after they hit the
driver, the timestamp will be less accurate since we cannot consider
the time the packets spent in queues outside the driver. With this commit,
to achieve accurate timestamping, the tx queues will not be stopped in
normal conditions. The only scenarios where the queues will be stopped are
when firmware commands are executing or if the interface is brought down.
Now, we need to be prepared for a situation where packets hit the driver
even after the tx queues are full. Drop all such packets in the driver itself.

The return value of the tx operation is commonly
misused by drivers, leading to errors. All drivers
will drop frames if they fail to TX the frame, and
they must also properly manage the queues (if they
didn't, mac80211 would already warn).
Removing the ability for drivers to return a BUSY
value also allows significant cleanups of the TX
TX handling code in mac80211.
Note that this also fixes a bug in ath9k_htc, the
old "return -1" there was wrong.
